Forth Worth, TX-- Rookie Brendan Gaughan grabbed his first Craftsman
Truck Series career win under the lights on the 1.5 mile track at Texas.
Gaughan and his Orleans Racing team decided to take on two tires rather
than four during the final pitstop.

The two-time Winston West champion, Gaughan started the race 10th in the
No. 62 NAPA Dodge. His previous best finish in the CTS division was a
second place finish on the track a year ago.

Action started early in the event when after only four laps the 29, 4,
and No. 16 trucks went sideways. The No. 4 truck driven by Brian Rose was
unable to return to the track.

The No. 29 however, driven by veteran Terry Cook, was involved in another
incident on lap 65. Cook got into the back of the 81 Chevy of Donnie
Neuenberger. Neuenberger's truck hit the wall hard and caught fire. The
driver was pulled from the burning machine unhurt.

Pole sitter Jason Leffler led a huge part of the race. But on lap 106
while running third, Leffler's No. 2 Ultra Motorsports Dodge took the air
off of the No. 8 truck's spoiler and sent the 8, driven by Bill Lester,
sideways. Avoiding the spinning truck, Leffler lost control of his own
ride and backed it into the wall. He was unable to finish the race.

The No. 60 Addington truck driven by Travis Kvapil, who won Texas last
year, came up short in his repeat and finished second. Points leader and
Texas native, David Starr finished third.
